Tom, Yes, Haynes says to remove the steering track bolt and the fill tube bolt and have an assistant push the tube rearward to allow clearance for starter to be pulled out. Not much clearance. . I watched my indie do mine and he did a lot of the bolt work from the top, but got under it and dropped it. I didn't see him move the dipstick tube, so might get by without doing that. .

Going to attempt to change starter. Did it on my 1977 300D 5 years ago. Questions Looks like I do not have to remove the tranny fill dip stick tube? Can I do the job from pull up ramps? Any help would appreciate it.
